Getting the Vossen wheels installed tomorrow. I know I've been told by numerous people at Vossen everything will fit fine and no more problems but I'm still nervous. Wish me luck!

nitto 555 might have a wider crops section at the same size. Falken are cheaper and they tend to run narrow. This is why they are always on lowered cars. Disposable and less rubbing. I went through the same thing with my GS when I went from Falken to Michelin

lexani clearly doesn't make rims with the right disk fitment and so tried to pawn off way out offsets to make it work - shame on them.

vossen obviously knows what they're doing in regards to lexus fitment and sizes, and i'm glad discount tire made it right - that's good service (eventually).

looking forward to pics. that pic of the lexani rims on your car looks, um, not so good.
